Abstract: A pathogen containment shield comprises a plexiglass barrier to protect both employees on the one side of the barrier from infecting or being infected by customers on the other side of the barrier. The shield includes a vertical portion with an upper outwardly extending portion and side wings extending outwardly from the vertical portion in the direction of the customer. A hood mounted to the upper outwardly extending portion and including a tourmaline and antimicrobial infused filter, a fan designed to direct droplets into the filtration box at the base of the vertical barrier. The hood also includes an auto distance sensor and programmable auto timer to activate the fans and the filtration box when a customer approaches the shield and to turn off the operation a set time after the customer leaves. The filtration box includes a removable tourmaline and antimicrobial infused intake filter and pathogen killing UV-C light.

Abstract: An impact apparatus employing a hollow body having within its interior resilient means having a greater resiliency than said body.

Abstract: This invention provides an assist to a monitor for apnea of infants and very young children. Monitors for such problems are well known, but the usual signals from these monitors are flashing lights or audible sounds. These signals from the monitor may be unobserved or not responded to by an attendant. The present assist apparatus is provided so that the patient is stimulated at the first actuation from the monitor. There are two areas of the patient receptive to such stimulation; a first area is the sole of a foot and the other area is at the neck. At the foot, a shoe is provided with a motor or reciprocated plunger to vibrate or lightly engage the skin of the patient. At the neck area, a removable collar with motors or reciprocating plunger is provided to lightly engage the skin of a patient. Either separately or in combination, the patient is stimulated to an aroused condition absent an attendant. Electrical energy or pressurized air may be utilized.

Abstract: A digital readout and display adapted for use with a tank of oxygen under pressure provides pressure regulation, discerning of the pressure in the tank and consumption of the oxygen. A small battery within a case member powers this display. The readout device includes a gauge with a movable element responsive to pressure. An S-shaped rod is carried by and fixed to this shaft. This rod is very light in weight and in a secured condition is free at both ends to prevent friction of moving parts. The discharge end of this light-conducting rod comes in way of a light receiver carried by the body of the gauge. There is a multiplicity of receivers arrayed in a circular pattern near the edge of the gauge body and the light from this rod actuates a reed switch which sends an electrical signal to a microprocessor thence to an LED digital display. A single emitter may be used to send light through three rods each of which is carried by a gauge-type device.
